15-1916b.fm Page 2 Monday, July 19, 1999 12:17 PM INTRODUCTION Your 3 in 1 Easy Remote can replace up to three standard infrared remote controls. Unlike some universal remote controls, the 3 in 1 is preprogrammed and does not have to learn its commands from the original remote controls. All you have to do is tell the 3 in 1 which remote controls you want it to replace. After you ve entered the manufacturers codes for your original remotes, the 3 in 1 is automatically ready to operate most of the same functions as the original remotes. (This manual includes a list of manufacturers codes for TVs, VCRs, and cable converters.) Your 3 in 1 remote has these features: Replaces Other Remotes lets you replace up to three remote controls with one easy-to-use remote control. Powerful Infrared Beam in many cases, lets you operate your remote-controlled devices from a greater distance than with the original remote controls. Convenient Keypad Design places each control key in the best position for easy operation. Handy Reference Label provides a convenient place for you to write down the manufacturers codes. Toll Free Support you can get expert help for your 3 in 1 by calling 1-800-955-2599. Note: You need two AAA batteries (not supplied) to operate your 3 in 1 remote. 1997 Tandy Corporation.

15-1916b.fm Page 4 Monday, July 19, 1999 12:17 PM HOW THE 3 IN 1 WORKS Before you begin to use the 3 in 1, it is helpful to understand a little about how it works nothing technical, only an idea of what you can expect from it. After you set up the 3 in 1, its command keys work like the keys on your original remote controls, though the labeling might differ slightly. For example, a key on your original remote control that might be labeled PWR ON/OFF is equivalent to the 3 in 1 s PWR key. Notes: P is a special key that you use when you set up (program) the 3 in 1 to replace your original remote controls. TV, VCR, and CBL are device keys. You use them when you set up the 3 in 1 to replace your original remote controls. You also use the device keys during normal operation to tell the 3 in 1 which device you want to control. PWR (power), MUTE, and LAST (recall) operate the same as on your original remote control. Whenever you use the 3 in 1 s RECORD key, you must press it twice. This safety feature helps prevent you from accidentally erasing video tapes. 4
15-1916b.fm Page 5 Monday, July 19, 1999 12:17 PM PREPARATION INSTALLING BATTERIES Cautions: Be sure to have fresh batteries ready to install before you remove the old batteries. The 3 in 1 s memory only lasts about a minute without the batteries. If the memory is lost, simply re-enter the 3-digit manufacturers codes for your remote-controlled devices. Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries (standard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries of different capacities. 1.Press the battery compartment cover tab and lift off the cover. 2.Install two AAA alkaline batteries as indicated by the polarity symbols marked inside the compartment. 3.Replace the cover. When the 3 in 1 s range decreases or the 3 in 1 operates erratically, replace the batteries. 5
15-1916b.fm Page 6 Monday, July 19, 1999 12:17 PM Note: Do not place objects on top of the remote control after you install the batteries. This can press down keys and reduce battery life. SETTING UP YOUR REMOTE CONTROL 1. Refer to Manufacturers Codes on Page 10 and write down the codes for your original remote controls on the provided label. 2. Press the device key for the type of remote you are replacing (TV, VCR, or CBL). 3. Hold down P until the red indicator blinks twice, then release P and enter the 3-digit manufacturer s code. For example, to replace a Panasonic TV s remote control (manufacturer code 051), you would press: TV P 0 5 1 4. When the indicator blinks twice again, point the 3 in 1 at your device and press PWR. The device should turn on (or off, if it was on). Repeat these steps for additional devices. Notes: The punch-through feature is automatically turned on for the TV s volume and mute controls. This means that when you select CBL and press one of the volume buttons or MUTE, the remote actually sends the codes to the television to control it, not the cable converter. If you want to use your cable converter s volume and mute controls, disable the punch-through feature for these buttons. See Punch Through on Page 8. 6
15-1916b.fm Page 7 Monday, July 19, 1999 12:17 PM If the remote does not operate your device, try other codes listed in Manufacturers Codes for your brand of TV, VCR, or cable box. If your device still does not respond, follow the steps outlined in If You Have Problems on Page 23. 7
15-1916b.fm Page 8 Monday, July 19, 1999 12:17 PM OPERATION 1. Press the device key for the device you want to control. 2. Point the 3 in 1 toward the device and press PWR to turn it on. 3. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 for other devices. 4. Point the 3 in 1 toward the device you want to control and press the appropriate device key, then the desired command keys. The command keys on the 3 in 1 work the same as the keys on the device s original remote control; however, the labeling might differ slightly. 5. To turn off the last device you selected, press PWR. To turn off other devices, press the device key for the device you want to turn off, and then press PWR. PUNCH THROUGH The punch-through feature lets you control two different devices without pressing the device keys for each one first. Here s how it works. No device uses all of the 3 in 1 s keys. For example, a TV is often the only device that uses the VOL keys, and a VCR is usually the only device that uses keys such as REWIND, FAST F, and RECORD. When you press TV to control a TV, then press VCR to control a VCR, any keys not used by the VCR will still control the TV. For example, VOL still controls the TV s volume. If your cable box or VCR has a volume control, you can turn off the punch-through feature so you can use the cable box s or VCR s volume control to control the sound (if it can already do so). 8
15-1916b.fm Page 9 Monday, July 19, 1999 12:17 PM If you want to turn off the punch-through feature and control the volume through your cable box, hold down P until the red indicator blinks twice. Release P, then press 9 9 3 CBL. When the indicator blinks twice, you can control the volume through your cable box. If you want to turn the punch-through feature back on and control the volume through your TV, hold down P until the red indicator blinks twice. Release P, then press 9 8 0. When the indicator blinks twice, you can control the volume using your TV. The punch-through feature does not work if the last two devices you select have the same (or similar) features. For example, most TVs and VCRs have channel keys on their remote controls. In this case, you would have to press the desired device key before you use the 3 in 1 s channel keys. FAVORITE CHANNEL SCAN Your 3 in 1 is equipped with a favorite channel scan (S) key. You can set up the remote to repeatedly scan through up to 10 of your favorite channels on your TV, VCR, or cable box anytime you press S. Note: The favorite channel scan key can only be set up for one device (TV, VCR or CBL). You cannot set up a favorite channel list for another device until you clear the existing list. 1. Press the device key (TV, VCR, or CBL) for the device that will contain your favorite channel list. 2. Hold down P until the 3 in 1 s red light blinks twice. Release P and enter 9 9 6. 9
15-1916b.fm Page 10 Monday, July 19, 1999 12:17 PM 3. Enter the channel number of the first channel you want to include in your favorite channel list. Then press P. Note: You must press 0 before entering a single digit channel number. If you are entering a channel that is three digits long, such as 103, you do not have to press P after entering the channel number. 4. Repeat Step 3 for other channels (up to 10) you want to include in your list. Then, hold down P until the 3 in 1 s red light blinks twice. 5. To scan through your favorite channel list, press the device key (TV, VCR, or CBL) for the device that contains your favorite channel list, then press S. Your 3 in 1 repeatedly scans through your favorite channel list, stopping at each channel for three seconds. 6. To stop at one of your favorite channels while the 3 in 1 is running through your list, press any key on the remote (other than S). Clearing Favorite Channel Scan 1. Hold down P until the 3 in 1 s red light blinks twice, then release P. 2. Press 9 9 6, then hold down P until the 3 in 1 s red light blinks twice. 10

15-1916b.fm Page 24 Monday, July 19, 1999 12:17 PM IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS MANUAL CODE SEARCH If the 3 in 1 does not control your remote-controlled devices when you first set it up, you probably did not enter the correct 3-digit codes for your devices. You can try all the codes for the brand of your device, or because many manufacturers make products using several different brand names, you might want to search the 3 in 1 s entire library by following these steps. 1. Manually turn on the device you are trying to set up. 2. Aim the 3 in 1 at the device. 3. Press the device key, then hold down P until the red indicator blinks twice. Release P. 4. Press 9 9 1 PWR, then press the device key. Alternate between pressing PWR and the device key until the device responds. Each time you press the device key, the 3 in 1 advances to the next manufacturer s code in its list. 5. When the device responds, press and release P to lock in the manufacturer s code. The red indicator blinks twice. If necessary, repeat these steps for each device. DETERMINING THE 3-DIGIT CODE After you set up your 3 in 1 remote control using the manual code search, you can find which 3- digit code the 3-1in-1 is set to by following these steps. 1. Press the device key you want to get the manufacturer s code from. 24

15-1916b.fm Page 26 Monday, July 19, 1999 12:17 PM TROUBLESHOOTING If the 3 in 1 stops working after you successfully test the control of each device, or if you are unable to get the 3 in 1 to work at all, check the following: Be sure you press the device key for the device you want to control. Check and replace the batteries, if necessary. Confirm that your remote-controlled devices are working properly using manual controls or their original remotes. If some buttons do not work for your device, you might be able to scan to a better device code. If you are still unable to determine the problem, call our nationwide Universal Remote Control Hotline at 1-800-955-2599. 26
15-1916b.fm Page 27 Monday, July 19, 1999 12:17 PM CARE AND MAINTENANCE Your 3 in 1 Easy Remote is an example of superior design and craftsmanship, and should be treated with care. The suggestions below will help you enjoy the 3 in 1 for many years. Keep the 3 in 1 dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits. Use and store the 3 in 1 only in normal temperature environments. Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts. Keep the 3 in 1 away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature wear of parts. Handle the 3 in 1 gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage circuit boards and cases and can cause the 3 in 1 to work improperly. Use only fresh batteries of the required size and type. Batteries can leak chemicals that damage your 3 in 1 s electronic parts. Wipe the 3 in 1 with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the 3 in 1. Modifying or tampering with the 3 in 1 s internal components can cause a malfunction and might invalidate your 3 in 1 s warranty. If your 3 in 1 is not performing as it should, take it to your local store for assistance. 27
